This is an useful feature, I had suggestion from Christophe.
This feature can be affected on each entry.
A entry is represented as one row in grid at right pane.
"Description" column shows hint message brought by Descriptor.
Each Descriptor affects to expected entries in next aspect:
 | Displays a text as hint at "Description" column. |
| Select actual display format for "Value" column. |
| Select better editing method for the entry. |
It is presented as CSV file. Next one is from developing version's one.
Next figure is from original excel sheet format.
A Descriptor is made from at least 6 columns (Column 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
Column 1, 2, 3 and 4 is criteria whether an entry should be subjected on this descriptor or not.
Column 5 is message.
Column 6 is type.
Column 7 is optional. For some "type", it uses this column to display more effective info.
See also Appendix: Class/Sub class/Entry class for terms meaning.
It represents a class.
Look at Appendix: Classes for known class list.
You can select one like "$11" for cloth class.
You can select some like "$10;$11;$12;$13;$14;$15" for some item classes.
It represents a subclass.
I don't have complete list of subclasses, I omit about detail.
You can select all subclasses by using empty text.
It represents a type.
Here is a list of known types.
| $01 | Image |
| $02 | Sound |
| $03 | HMP format |
| $04 | 04 (raw) |
| $05 | Text |
| $06 | 06 (raw) |
| $07 | 07 (raw) |
| $08 | 08 (raw) |
| $09 | 09 (raw) |
| $0B | 0B |
| $0C | 0C |
| $0D | Palette |
| $0E | 0E (raw) |
You can select one like "$01" for the image entries.
It represents entry/entries in subclass(es).
If you are to select a entry named "00 40 00", use "$004000".
This column accepts a kind of wildcard.
The name "12 34 56" matches if you use one of "$xx3456",
"$12xx56", "$1234xx", "$xx34xx",
"$xxxx56", "$12xxxx" or "$xxxxxx" for criterion.
It represents a message at "Description" column.
It represents a type and a column for optional.
Look at Appendix: Types for complete list of types.
